Abstract. The article analyzes the current state of the agro-industrial complex of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Since the proclamation of the Independence of the Republic, in the agro-industrial complex, as in the entire economy of the country, significant structural changes has happened. After the abandonment of the centralized planned economy, a set of measures was implemented, aimed at radical reform of the industry.
In general, the political outcome of the reform was the transformation of state property into a private one, as well as the creation of a legal basis for a market economy. Economic consequences were changes in production and land relations, liberalization of pricing, credit system, creation of a competitive market infrastructure. Further development of agricultural production was associated with the definition of the role of the state in supporting this branch of the economy.
The agro-industrial complex, along with industry, energy and services, is a fundamental branch for the economy of any state.
The agro-industrial complex of the Republic of Kazakhstan consists of three interrelated production links. The first includes industries that produce means of production, as well as a system of enterprises and departments that carry out the material and technical supply of the agroindustrial complex. The second link is represented by agriculture itself. The third includes the branches that carry out the procurement, storage, processing and marketing of agricultural products [1].
The state of agriculture in the Republic of Kazakhstan can be judged by the main indicators, which are given in Table 1.
